Risala Najma Nova is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Najma Nova opens with Apple Blossom, Bergamot, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Date, Tuberose, Pineapple, and Praline, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Musk, Patchouli, and Rose. Risala's Najma Nova carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This loud, potent sweet bomb from Risala goes big on fruit and gourmand notes. It's a crowd-pleasing, surprisingly affordable take on popular Middle Eastern fragrance profiles, if a tad too feminine for some chaps.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Built on sweet, amber and warm spicy - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and intense sweetness make it less suitable for an office environment. However, its bold character and warm gourmand profile are perfect for dates or evening casual wear, though perhaps a bit overwhelming for formal events.

About

Najma Nova kicks off with a burst of juicy peach and bright apple blossom, spiced up by a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon. The heart quickly unfolds into a decadent praline and date sweetness, tempered by a creamy tuberose. As it dries down, a comforting blend of vanilla, tonka, and benzoin emerges, grounded by a soft musk and an intriguing akigalawood, with patchouli and rose adding depth.
